Filter by:Incorporating Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) treatment into opioid maintenance treatment program clinical protocols is an innovative health care delivery model that has been associated with improved HCV treatment uptake in non-pregnant, drug-using populations. This "medical home" approach would combine HCV and opioid maintenance treatment into one treatment regimen and incorporate the expertise of obstetricians, hepatologists, substance abuse treatment providers and pediatricians into one comprehensive clinical care model. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility/acceptability of a combined, peripartum HCV and opioid maintenance treatment program on adherence to HCV treatment regimens and evaluate the rate of intravenous drug use (IVDU) recidivism, HCV reinfection and health related Quality of Life (QOL) in women with opioid use disorder (OUD) during the first postpartum year. The protocol involves three separate study phases. All 3 study phases will occur with support from hepatology providers at Magee-Womens Hospital. Phase 1 involves screening, enrollment and a baseline assessment of liver function, HCV infection (genotype, viral load) and blood and urine studies in HCV-infected patients during pregnancy. In Phase 2, subjects will undergo 12 weeks of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir therapy initiated at 2 weeks postpartum. Feasibility/acceptability and adherence to sofosbuvir/velpatasvir will be assessed at 4, 8 and 12 weeks of therapy. In Phase 3, subjects will continue to be followed for 15 months after treatment completion. Treatment effectiveness and sustained virologic response (SVR) will be evaluated at 3 months and rates of IVDU recidivism, HCV reinfection and patient centered outcomes such as health related quality of life (QOL) will be assessed at 6, 9 and 12 months following treatment completion.
This is a pilot feasibility study of a small randomized controlled trial (RCT)design to evaluate participation in a Cognitive Behavioral Coping Skills (CBCS) group intervention versus standard of care in patients with hepatitis C undergoing antiviral treatment. The primary objectives are to (1) examine effect size (ES) estimates of key outcomes to provide essential data to inform a larger efficacy trial, (2) determine whether clinically significant improvements occurred in any key outcomes, and (3) evaluate study feasibility and patient acceptability. Study findings will inform a larger efficacy study of the CBCS-HCV.
This prospective, multi-center, observational study is designed to assess the real world effectiveness of paritaprevir/r - ombitasvir with dasabuvir (3DAA [direct-acting antiviral agent] ABBVIE REGIMEN) without ribavirin (RBV) and to describe baseline characteristics of participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1b (GT1b) infection and compensated liver cirrhosis in Russia.
HCV infection is one of the most prevalent etiologies for liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. HCV is highly heterogeneous, with seven confirmed major genotypes. Each genotype displays a different geographic distribution. Since different HCV genotypes react differently on available antiviral therapies, the correct identification of HCV genotype serves as a marker of responsiveness and an indicator for duration of treatment. The recombinant HCV genotype 2k/1b was first described in Saint Petersburg in 2002. A sequencing strategy led to the detection of HCV genotype 2k/1b. However, clinical laboratories often use the VERSANT HCV Genotype 2.0 Assay for routine HCV genotyping. This assay may potentially misclassify these HCV strains as genotype 2a/2c. Based on these findings, the number of patients with 2k/1b may be underestimated. AbbVie's IFN-free regimen for the treatment of chronic HCV genotype 1b infection includes 3 DAAs with distinct mechanisms of action and non-overlapping resistance pattern to target HCV proteins essential for viral replication. The high efficacy of the 3D regimen was proven in registration clinical trials and RW for 1b population. 3D regimen has not been evaluated for patients with HCV genotype 2K/1B. Primary Objective • Evaluate the efficacy of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir (3D) in an interferon-free treatment regimen as assessed by SVR in adult patients with HCV 2k/1b. Study Design: .The study will include 1 group. Patients with HCV GT 2k1b will be treated according to label recommendation as for GT1b (with and without cirrhosis) for 12 weeks. All subjects will receive Ombitasvir/Paritaprevir/Ritonavir and Dasabuvir. Subjects will be assessed for antiviral response, clinical outcomes, patient reported adverse events and presence and emergence of resistance associated variants. Subjects will be followed for up to 12 weeks of treatment and extra 24 weeks of follow up. Scheduled visits will include: physician assessment and blood tests including HCV resistance mutations.
The investigators aim to determine the prevalence of hepatitis C in the adult children of female baby boomers. During the years baby boomers were becoming pregnant, hepatitis C testing was either not available or was not standard of care. Because of this, participants' children may be unaware of participants' risk of hepatitis C.
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate safety, efficacy, and tolerability of treatment with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) for 12 weeks in adults on dialysis for end stage renal disease (ESRD) with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection of any genotype.
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, efficacy and tolerability of treatment with ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) in adults with chronic HCV infection who are on dialysis for ESRD.
Sustained Viral Response following 12-week therapy (SVR 12) with sofosbuvir/ledipasvir in transfusion-dependent patients with HCV genotype 1-6 Secondary Objective(s): Assessment of transfusion requirements Adverse events Efficacy in treatment-naïve vs. relapsers vs. null responders Efficacy in patients with advanced fibrosis/cirrhosis vs. F1, F2 by elastography
This study aimed to verify whether orange juice, source of citrus flavonoids and vitamin C, may contribute to the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis C.
This study will have 2 parts: Pharmacokinetics (PK) Lead-in Phase and the Treatment Phase. The primary objective of the PK Lead-in Phase is to evaluate the steady state PK and confirm the dose of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) fixed-dose combination (FDC) in pediatric participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The primary objective of the Treatment Phase is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SOF/VEL for 12 weeks in pediatric participants with chronic HCV.
